I've always loved meatballs, but I've never been a fan of the traditional breadcrumb-based recipes. They always seem to fall apart when I cook them, and they're often too dense and heavy. A few years ago, I started experimenting with paleo-friendly ingredients, and I came up with this recipe for paleo meatballs. They're made with almond flour instead of breadcrumbs, and they're cooked in an air fryer, which gives them a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. These meatballs are a hit with my family and friends, and I'm sure you'll love them too.
